On wednesday I was hit on the free way on my way to work. Long story short guy came over 2 lanes hit me right where my cab and bed met. Idaho state troopers witnessed the wreck and cited the guy with 4 violations including reckless driving. Needless to say my 90 f250 xlt is toast. I had it just under 5 years and put 218k miles on it. It was just a good old solid truck. Not much to look at and definitely well used( by me lol) never planed on buying a 30 year old gas truck when I bought it, but when I found a 1 owner truck with 67k miles on it and i only padded 1800 for it. What can I say, I just counted hundreds. It was i need a truck right now moment after I had sold my construction company and all the trucks that went with it. Well,Thursday I had another I need a truck right now moment and just like the last time I got lucky.
2000 f350 xlt lariat crew cab 4wd long bed diesel. Ypu can tell some old guy owned it, it still had the factory combo cassette
cd player. 2 owner truck only the 1st one only owned it for 3 months... 155009 on the clock when I bought it. Had to drive 300 miles each way( the way back was a blizzard and had the road closed ) I miss the old 7.3 not a power house like today's trucks, but they are an easy 4-500k+ motor if you take care of them. Which in all honestly is what I care about. I don't need the latest and greatest, I always drove my personal vehicles into the ground. Besides having delt with all the emissions crap on my work trucks, they completely destroy the entire purpose for owning a diesel. They remove durability and fuel mileage. There is a reason why just about everyone removes all the stuff after the warranty is out.
